After a While…

After a while you learn the subtle

difference between holding a hand

and chaining a soul.

and you learn that love doesn’t mean

leaning and company doesn’t mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses

aren’t contracts and presents aren’t

promises,

And you begin to accepts your defeats

with your head up and your eyes open,

with the grace of an adult, not the

grief of a child.

And you learn to build all your roads

on today because tomorrows ground

is too uncertain for plans.

After a while you learn that even

sunshine burns if you get too much.

So plant your own garden and

decorate your own soul,instead

of waiting for someone to

bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure…

That you really are strong,

And you really do have W O R T H!!!(",)

    Sister, lalim ng pinanggalingan nito ah.

    I pray that in God’s time, you (and I..tayong lahat) will be happier — in its truest sense. We will soon achieve the meaning and wholeness we aspire — kahit single tayo. yahooo!

    Truly waiting in vain leads nowhere. And you chose to do the first move for a step up.

    Cge lang..
